Overview

Economic mobility is a factor that is clearly related to inequality. The 15 papers that comprise this volume focus upon the theory and measurement of inequality, welfare and poverty from the perspective of researchers working in several different worldwide locations. The issues covered here include inequality theory, economic mobility, issues in empirical estimation, and empirical studies. The theory papers address the link between inequality and social welfare; the mobility papers address issues of unequal growth and intergenerational mobility; and the estimation papers address data weighting and equivalent scale issues. The final section presents empirical papers on poverty and inequality for a variety of countries.
